.ws 0 .-- Q ,'k assi Melanie Longstaff and Morti spin a fanciful tale for a class at the Fort Wayne Christian School. Talented Tw0s0me-- g ,fs us .tt VV X 61 Melanie Longstaff and Dummy Do you know anyone who enjoys talking to herself? How about Melanie Longstaff! lilo, she is not tetohed in the heady she talks to herself and is rewarded by thoughtful and attentive eyes of young children. Melanie is a ventriloquist. She has performed with her friend, Morti Snerd, before countless chil- dren in Sunday School and now she hopes to continue her efforts in her Christian Service assignment, Child Evangelism. She started her unusual hobby at the age of 13. She had worked with puppets before, and one day, while viewing Ted Mac on the boob tube, she made up her mind that she wanted a dummy of her very own. Her parents finally consented to her wishes and purchased her an ordinary-looking dummy. By watching attentively and by studying in a booklet, she eventually polished her hobby into the art she knows today. Her only regret is that she didn't start a year or two earlier. Melanie owns two dummies--the original dummy being small and normal looking, her new one having the look of a sneaky country boy. Morti Snerd, the second one, filled me in on a few details concerning his life. He was born in a factory in Kansas City in May or June of this year Csince he is hard-headed, his rememberer doesn't always workj. He is actually older than he looks. G-le told me he is old enough to know better.J He is very fond of girls. One fine day, when he was minding his own business, an overexcited fan jumped up and kissed him! Poor Morti can't read or write, so he has never been in school. He doesn't mind though, since not having classes means more time to sleep and practice stories Morti tells alltypes, of stories, but Bible stories are his favorites, especially Noah and the ark. Morti's audience is not always children. Occasionally a lucky Elementary Ed. major suffering through Kiddy Lit or Language Arts has had the chance of listening to Morti's golden voice. As Morti continues to pursue his hopes of education, perhaps we all can welcome this fellow dummy into other of our classes.
